This is a custom bass Dudley made for BP around 1990. He says it was made just before the Albert Lee Hot Licks video which Biff Baby plays in. I guess it also went on a Biff Baby's tour in Japan.

Dudley said he used chrome tape for the pinstriping, which he got at a beauty supply store. It's normaly used for fingernail decorations. It is also the first Stingray with rear mounted electronics.

It is one of several Stingray's to have binding on the neck. The inlays are Mother of Pearl too.

Here are the pics:

SWEET! I have a pic of Big Poppa playing that on-stage in a Guitar World magazine at home!

So, when are you guys going to offer binding? :D


Kidding!

Coolest ray ever!

Wow! :D The binding is really nice!
 
Jack, I will only be here for half the day on Saturday, so I will have some spies follow you around the factory.
 
Jack, this is going to work just like you said it would. While everyone is keeping a close eye on you, I'll load up a bunch of those goodies and we'll split up the take when we bet back to Dallas. ;)
